A renovated trailer for public or commercial purposes is a previously used trailer that is retrofitted or upgraded for enhanced business, job-site or operational use.
A Comforts of Home refurbished trailer can often be a notable upgrade from the unit’s original purpose because we can adapt it to the most current capabilities and options, as well as to your mission’s changing requirements.
Renovated Trailers: Getting More Used Trailers
Depending on your objectives, a renovated trailer may offer advantages over buying new, especially if you’re following a particular budget or you desire greater functionality without building a custom trailer from scratch.
The following are just a few leading ways a Comforts of Home renovated trailer can support your latest applications.
- Lower overall cost. Renovating an existing used trailer may be less expensive than purchasing a new trailer.
- Less impact of depreciation. A new trailer will typically absorb most of its depreciation within the first five years. For this reason, renovating a used trailer may lessen the impact of depreciation compared with purchasing new. A well-executed renovation may potentially help to preserve value and support a resale closer to the total investment.
- Continued customization. A renovated trailer with Comforts of Home still gives you great latitude in choosing elements such as cabinets, flooring, lighting and fixtures. You might also opt to modernize your layout or adjust the aesthetic feel of the interior space.
- Build quality. If a unit is older (e.g. 10 years or more), some components might be outdated. A renovated trailer can offer current efficiencies such as particle board for walls and cabinets, lighter metals for the frame and more-advanced electronics.
- Choice of improvement. With a refurbished trailer, you can choose to specifically focus on what matters to today’s objectives. For example, you might only need to upgrade the plumbing, roof or insulation while leaving all else intact.
If you are an eco-conscious business or individual, a renovated trailer also can reinforce sustainability by re-using existing materials, reducing manufacturing demand and keeping a trailer out of a landfill.

Renovated Trailers: Restroom, Shower & Combo
You might want or need to update a used restroom, shower or combo trailer for any number of strategic reasons. Just a few might include:
- improve the customer experience. Well-maintained restroom and shower facilities are expected by those who will be using them. Renovating your trailer with elements such as better lighting, solid-surface counters and greater ventilation can help make the trailer present a consistently positive image.
- increase rental-revenue potential. A renovated trailer can often be marketed as “premium” instead of “standard.” In these events, the trailer may expand its market reach and compete with newer units while commanding higher rental rates.
- extend asset lifespan. Restroom, shower and combo trailers will undergo use with predictable wear over lengthening time (e.g. floor delamination, corrosion, aging HVAC). A refurbished trailer can extend its service life for several more years while supporting the ROI on the original purchase. A renovated trailer can also often hold its resale value.
- maintain compliance. The timing of new health and safety regulations may range from months to decades apart. Refurbishing your trailer can keep you current with monitored standards such as the latest plumbing codes, backflow-prevention requirements and electrical-safety upgrades. This in turn helps to limit insurance and liability risk.
Just a few specific upgrades might feature:
- waterproof wall panels
- slip-resistant flooring
- new toilets
- toilet & shower stalls
- on-demand water heaters
- non-slip shower pans
- hands-free faucets
- ADA-compliant additions
- hookup to shore power
If you own a used shower, restroom or combo trailer, a COHSI trailer-solutions advisor can further inform you about ways you could extend its excellence of service and use at a lower cost than a full replacement.
